Last night I was at a sports bar and chanced to see a collection of highlights from the 100 greatest moments in sports (or something like that). As soon as I saw that #5 was from Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, I was pretty sure what that was. But can you really call the Bill Buckner drop a 'great' moment in sports? What was great about it? Memorable, yes. Great, no.
Number 3 on the list was the Helmet Catch from last year's Superbowl shown multiple times in agonizing slow motion. They also showed -- in painful detail -- the 'Eli really should have been sacked' moment leading up to the Helmet Catch. Someone hates Boston.
Number 1 was the US Olympic hockey team's 1980 gold medal victory. Has the US somehow become jealous of the Paul Henderson goal? It seemed to me to be an odd #1 choice.
(In case you were wondering, 4 was a boxing match that I don't recall and 2 was Michael Phelps at the 2008 Olympics).
